Hello December!

Project Life Accessory Packs are often used to create beautiful memory keeping albums and come with a wide array of stickers, cute printed cards, wood accents, an exclusive stamp set, and more! Hello December 2016 Accessory Pack is no different. It comes with 7 gorgeous silver printed acetate sheets, 6 sheets of stickers including alphabet and foil stickers, epoxy stickers, printed kraft cards, darling silver tree paper clips, wood tree elements, and tons more!

I admit I sometimes overlook Project Life Packs because I make more cards and 3D projects than memory keeping albums. But, who says you have to use Project Life Accessory Packs for only memory keeping?! Why not use Project Life's Hello December 2016 Accessory Pack's amazing silver acetate sheets and stickers to embellish your cards?! How can you resist those adorable little wooden pine trees!? I couldn't!

The silver printed Joy acetate sheet was the first embellishment to catch my eye. The font is stunning and so ideal for this time of year.  When I saw the silver printed acetate sheets in the Hello December 2016 Accessory Pack, I knew they were destined to be shaker cards! I love shaker cards! Here I used the silver printed Joy acetate sheet to embellish the front of my shaker card.

The shaker elements are white, clear, and silver sequins from the metallic sequins pack. The back of the shaker card is made by covering a piece of Whisper White cardstock with the multi-striped washi tape from the Presents & Pinecones Designer Washi Tape pack. I think the washi tape really makes the Joy pop!

You can use all of the elements for alternative projects! The reindeer kraft card is perfect for adorning a card front or a place setting card. You could even add the name of your guest using the alphabet stickers included! The tree paper clips are gorgeous attached to a gift tag or gift box. I'm looking forward to creating even more alternative projects using the Hello December 2016 Accessory Pack!

Painter's Palette Sweet and Simple Card: Shaker Addition

This is the same great card as yesterday but with the addition of a shaker element to the easel. I think the shaker element gives the card a wow factor, especially with the darling little heart confetti pieces!

Even though the base design from yesterday's post is fantastic on its own, including a few embellishments like the confetti and the shaker element, really enhance and build on the sweet and simple design. You could even emboss the picture frame in gold! The possibilities are endless!

What would you add to this card?

Sending Smiles Your Way Shaker Card

Tuesday's technique class focused on making shaker cards using the new foam adhesive strips. We made two beautiful cards - one for birthdays and one for Christmas. I also shared more samples to show other shaker shapes and fillings. Here is one of the samples using the new Love and Affection stamp set.

The filling comes from the Tree Builder Punch's little flower. I punched flowers in Flirty Flamingo, Peekaboo Peach, Daffodil Delight, and Sweet Sugarplum. I love the fresh, summery look of the new In Colors! Yesterday I thought Emerald Envy was my favorite In Color. Now, I think it is Flirty Flamingo! What's your favorite new In Color?

Brushstrokes background stamp is a beautiful way to show off the gorgeous, new copper embossing powder! Look at that shine!

For added interest, I stamped the tiny flower around the greeting in Flirty Flamingo, Peekaboo Peach, and Daffodil Delight ink.

On the inside of the card, I stamped the larger flower and some leaves in the lower right corner. To make the leaves peek out from underneath the flower, I used a sticky note mask.

Don't miss next month's Technique Tuesday class! The next technique is so bright you may need your sunglasses! Reserve your spot today!

Have you tried the new foam adhesive strips or made shaker cards? I would love to see what you make!
